Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureKnow which lots are about to expire, sell the oldest stock first, and pull a recall list by lot number in one click. Log a lot with product, lot number, quantity, dates, supplier and COA link. The dashboard sorts lots into Expired, Expiring soon and Active, and a FEFO list shows what to sell first. Search by lot or supplier and export the recall report to PDF or CSV. A weekly expiry email is part of the paid plan.
Serial Trail gives every physical unit a durable serial record. Create or import serial numbers, assign them at fulfillment, scan lifecycle changes, and reconcile the registry against orders and stock. When a product issue appears, define the affected population by serial range, pool, serial list, or product and sold-date window, then preview the exact affected units before you activate.
